My Best Friend by himynameiznate, literature

Literature

My Best Friend

My Best Friend I had a friend That I loved so dear Closer than family More than a peer We'd been close For quite some time Somehow we managed To get along fine She was like my sister And I wish I did say That my love was changing In a special way I couldn't tell her Just how I did feel Rejection from her Held no appeal I didn't want My heart to be torn She was so special I would just mourn I wish she could love me As I do her But she couldn't love me As it were She cared for me Ever so deeply I almost confessed Ever so sheeply Then one day She knocks on my door Crying and hurting As never before "I need to t

What I Am by himynameiznate, literature

Literature

What I Am

What I Am I am the hypocrite With the prideful heart I am a viper in the cursed brood That gains joy from others discomfort I am the boastful Pharisee Whose self is seen through superior eyes I am one who spots lint on others Without cleaning my mud soaked garb I am the leper Whose cancerous and rotting soul yearns for relief I am the blind one Choosing not to see I am the epileptic My spirit convulsing in disgust I am the lonely Crying for someone I am the broken Needing to be mended I am the hungry Starving for something better I am the naked Looking for shelter I am the lost Fumbling around in the darkness inside

This Side of Heaven by himynameiznate, literature

Literature

This Side of Heaven

This Side of Heaven We walked, we talked But now we're done I boasted, I mocked And now you're gone I think it's over How can this be That you would take All hope from me I'll never see you Ever, ever again Never see each other This side of heaven *(chorus) This side of heaven Will never seem the same This side of eternity I'll never seem sane This side of death I'll never feel life This pain in my chest Will never be alright* Where do I go from here What would you say Never mind, I don't want to hear It'd cause me pain any way I'm sick of you I'm sick of me Like cheap glue It all falls apart.....eventually I ha

Your 8th Grade My 9th Grade

Your 8th Grade My 9th Grade While I sit and let my mind drift My mind races a sluggish pace And while my memories seem to slip There's a constant reminder of your face We were kids, yes, we were dumb But what we had was more than puppy love You said some day we'd be married Together to the day we were buried But after, what, eleven months You're now with someone new I just stood there and got dumped How and why, I wish I knew *(chorus) Just sittin, thinkin bout the old days Your 8th grade You said you loved me in so many ways My 9th grade Even after so many years Your 8th grade All I have are my bitter tears My 9th grade

Growing Up by himynameiznate, literature

Literature

Growing Up

Growing Up I couldn't be Who you needed me to be Why couldn't I see That your life doesn't revolve around me I should have been a man But I acted like a boy You held my hand I tried to posses you like a toy When you came around I showed you the worst of me I thought it was you who held me down But it was self pity, now I see * Chorus Growing up Is the hardest thing I ever had to do Learning to see That they were my problems I was dumping on you Growing up Is what I had to do I was never the man I should have been to you * I just didn't want you To forget about me But I made you forget Why you even went out with me L

Let Me Die by himynameiznate, literature

Literature

Let Me Die

Let me die Let me die, It hurts to live, Let me die, My soul to give. I want to die, Give me rest, I don't want to try, Just a bullet in the chest. Every acrid breath makes sweet death, Like the gentle touch of a lovers caress. Let me die, I beg you please, Pain and disease Are only a tease. Give me a place, Where I can be free, Where demons wont chase, And torture me

Er update much?

0 min read

Sheesh, I wrote the previous post 3 years ago? I'm enjoying the married life, and looking forward to starting our 5th year of marriage. I seriously have the best wife I could have ever imagined. No kids yet, but hopefully soon. As I write this, she's in Kenya for two weeks for a missions trip, but will be home in a few days, and I am happy about that. I work for Liferay, I'm the Director of UI Engineering, and I rarely do art, though when I get to, I rather enjoy it. Don't really follow much on DevArt anymore, as my tastes are much more UI and code related, and less "art for arts sake". I have to say, what I do fits me to the tee. I alway

Yikes...

Holy crap, it's been almost a year since I last updated? My goodness.... So where'd I vanish off to? Well, apart from my marriage to my amazing bride, Jessica, we've been super super busy with family stuff, each other, and work. Jason and I FINALLY finished Expanse. What is it? Well, it's just about the easiest way for artists to manage their online portfolios. There are so many features, and yet so flexible and powerful. To say I am proud of it is an amazing understatement. We worked our butts off, and we definitely want everyone to check out the demo, and we think it's going to really benefit so many different artists. We're young, we'

I found out today is "Womens Rights Day", and my little brothers actually got the day off from school for it. Note to people: If your little group or organization, or whatever decides to trump yourselves up, expect backlash. Black history month doesnt enlighten whites about black history, it makes whites more bitter towards blacks. Same with womens rights day. Men get pissed off, because that kinda statement implies that women dont have rights, which implies men are sexist a**holes who keep women down. Just so you know, your little days, months, organizations, whatever, dont encourage acceptance and integration. It inspires the absolute opposite. Enough from me.
